As drifting is the big thing and something that I am interested in I am faced with a dilemma. While I admire drifting I would not be caught dead in a Nissan Silvia or the likes. So for the aspiring drifter what are the best muscle alternatives??
From observations it appears that for a drift car you need rear wheel drive, good handling, short wheelbase and even weight distribution. So I'm guessing anything big block is out of the question and anything as big as a Falcon is starting to get too big. Seeing as Tokyo Drift has popularised a 67 Mustang drifting is it in fact possible to make classic muscle cars good drifting vehicles. In my head I have the following possibilities. #Chrysler Valiant Charger 265 Hemi/340 small block #Ford Mustang Windsor/Cleveland #Plymouth Barracuda LA V8 smallblock #Holden Torana 202ci/308ci #VB-VL Commodore RB30ET/308ci Any other ideas I am tempted to include the Falcon but perhaps it's longer wheelbase presents a challenge?? |
